Sportfishing is a fun and relaxing way to get out and enjoy the great outdoors and all the wonderful natural resources of Camrose and area. Anglers are reminded that a valid Alberta Sportfishing License is required for anyone, age 16 to 64 inclusive, to fish at any public waterbody within Alberta. For complete story, see page 2.

Wildlife officer snares convictions By Lori Larsen

The hard work and dedication of Camrose District Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branch (FWEB) to protect our natural resources through investigations, stemming from reports or complaints, has resulted in the following court dispositions. A local waterfowl outfitter/guide was found guilty of conducting a hunt on private property without informing the landowner that he was an outfitter/ guide with paying clients. The outfitter was fined $4,000. Camrose District Fish and Wildlife Enforcement branch officer Lorne Rinkel reminds landowners that by law, outfitters/ guides, must advise landowners they are accessing their land for commercial use. In an another case, an outfitter/guide was convicted in Camrose Court of hunting without a license and fined $2,500. The outfitter’s client shot a trophy antlered mule deer when not licensed to do so. “Outfitter/guides are vicariously liable for the same offenses that their clients may commit,” explained Rinkel. As the result of a Report A Poacher call, Camrose FWEB conducted an investigation into a shot and left moose in the Ministik Lake area. Two hunters from Edmonton had shot two female moose and abandoned one as they only held one license. The two female suspects were found guilty of wasting meat and hunting without a license and given a $3,500 fine and issued a two year license suspension. A Lougheed area man was found guilty and fined $3,500 and given a one-year hunting license suspension for hunting and killing a trophy antlered mule deer while using a landowner mule deer license not assigned to him. “Landowner tags are for use by the specific landowner named on the license and on the specific deeded land listed on the license,” said Rinkel. A group of five Camrose area persons were found guilty of hunting without licenses and hunting on occupied land without permission and fined $5,000 with four years of license suspensions issued. “In this particular case, the group all participated in the killing, without a license, one female moose in the Ohaton area,” said Rinkel. A Killam area man was found guilty of snaring and killing two cougars without a license and fined $1,000. Rinkel reminds hunters that cougars cannot be trapped or snared by any person and can only be

hunted using a firearm or weapon. “Landowners can hunt, but not trap, cougars at all times of the year without license on their own private property. However, this exemption does not apply to any persons who are not the deeded landowners.” A Sedgewick area man was convicted in Camrose court of killing a trophy antlered mule deer and failing to immediately tag it. The suspect was levied a $1,500 fine for the untagged deer in conjunction with a one-year suspension of hunting license. In describing the details of the investigation and subsequent case, Rinkel said, “The man was stopped for a traffic offence when the ungutted and untagged deer was observed in the back of the man’s truck still attached to a quick winching system.” The investigation also resulted in the seizure of the suspect’s vehicle and additional charges of operating an uninsured/unregistered motor vehicle, misusing a license plate, driving while suspended and not wearing a seat belt, were issued.

ing wildlife and unlawful possession of wildlife. The man was assessed $4,000 in fines and his license was suspended for two years. Because of reciprocal agreements between provinces, the man’s Manitoba Guide/Outfitter license was also suspended in the home province. “After receiving a public tip, Camrose FWEB followed the trail of the suspect across an open stubble field where DNA was collected and later analyzed,” explained Rinkel. “The trail continued from Alberta to British Columbia, to Arizona and back to Manitoba. Multiple agencies assisted in interviewing suspects and helping the file come to a conclusion. The accused had come to Alberta and bow hunted the moose using a relatives special tag. Several other charges were withdrawn but the meat was recovered and given out to a family in need.” Contravening wildlife laws and regulations can carry steep fines as well as the loss of property used in the commission of the offence and loss of hunting/ fishing privileges.

He is seen here gathering DNA evidence in a stubble field for a case involving a Manitoba guide/outfitter contravening Alberta wildlife laws.

In addition to the fine and suspension of hunting license, the suspect was issued a one-year Judicial Order prohibiting him from being in the company of any other hunters, in possession of any wildlife, hunting licenses or firearms/weapons. “The Judicial Order is used as a behavioural modification tool and prevents suspended hunters from continuing to hunt with other lawfully licensed hunters.” A Manitoba outfitter/ guide was convicted for shooting a moose without a license, unlawfully export-

Set the hook for fishing By Lori Larsen

Anglers across the province are happy to be back to the streams, rivers and lakes enjoying what many find to be, the relaxing sport of fishing. But before you cast your line into the water it is important to know the laws and regulations. The Alberta 2018 Sportfishing regulations and applicable statutes apply to all anglers in the Province of Alberta fishing on any public waterbodies. The regulations are in effect from April 1 until March 31, 2019. “Anyone fishing on public waterbodies in Alberta, ages 16 to 64, inclusive, must possess a valid Alberta Sportfishing license,” said Camrose District Fish and Wildlife officer Lorne Rinkel. “They have to have the license on their person and produce a physical copy (not on a cellular or other device) of the license when asked to do so. There are some exceptions for First nations persons.” The purpose of managing fishing activity through laws and regulations is to conserve fish populations and protect Alberta waterbodies. Be sure to refer to the sportfishing regulations (newly revamped for 201819) to check season dates. Open seasons means sportfishing is allowed during the time period stated. During open seasons, sportfishing is permitted 24 hours a day unless stated differently in sitespecific regulations. Closed seasons means all forms of sportfishing are prohibited. While it is always advised to check the statutes and regulations prior to fishing, the following are some general restrictions

as quoted from the 2018 Alberta Guide to Sportfishing Regulations. It is unlawful to: use more than one line when angling into open water. Use more than two lines when angling into ice-covered water. While angling be further than 30 m from any line in the water. Use a line in angling equipped with more than three hooks (e.g., three hooks, or three single-hook lures, or one three-hook lure). Use a lure in angling with more than three hooks as part of it. Use a hook with more than three points on a common shaft (see Important Definitions, page 15). Release live fish or live fish eggs into any waters except back to the waters from which they were caught. Possess live crayfish, live bait fish, live game fish – unless the fish have been lawfully caught by angling and are within five metres of the waters from which they were caught, use live fish for bait or amphibians, such as frogs and salamanders, as bait. Dispose of unused bait within 50 metres of waterbodies except in a regularly serviced waste disposal receptacle. Set out or use bait to attract fish unless it is attached to a hook used in angling. Use scented lures or scented weights where bait bans are in effect. Fish by snagging or possess fish taken by snagging. Possess a snagging device (such as a gaff or gaff hook) while angling. Use gaffs, gaff hooks or spring-loaded hooks (spring-loaded hooks incorporate a device that snags /traps / holds the fish). Continued on page 7

Election result a sign of better times

BRCF helps out Hay Lakes library

By Wes Taylor, MLA Battle River-Wainwright

Brexit, Trump, Ontario; all three votes signal that ordinary hard-working people have had enough of progressive policies being foisted onto them by authoritarian, out of touch, elites. Ontarians decisively rejected the high-tax, highdebt policies of the Liberals and the NDP. I believe this result was also a statement on the many ideological cultural and social policies advanced by these hectoring, nanny-state know-it-alls. The Ontario PC Party win is a victory for a party who, like the UCP, concentrate on common sense and realworld concerns. Both the NDP and Liberals are more comfortable focusing on minority ideological wedge issues. Issues that provoke debates full of sound and fury purposefully setting one group of Albertans, or Canadians, against another in a constant “victim Olympics”. These debates are of little significance to the vast majority. The majority is too busy raising their children, performing a solid day’s work and contributing meaningfully to society. Unhappily, while the in-power progressives bounce around Tigger-like, engaged with these nouvelle vague ephemera the genuine and proper business of government is crashing and burning or neglected. Their myopic conceit makes them blind to the fact that they can indulge themselves in this behavior only because the society, with its structures, underlying wealth and Judeo/Christian values, they despise and classify as repressive or unjust, provides them the capacity so to do. They are “Rebels without a Cause.” Perpetual “Peter Pan”-type undergraduates, petulantly interpreting the gilded age they live in as a gilded cage. Make no mistake, the Ontario result is a bellwether for Alberta. The result humiliated the Ontario Liberals; they lost 51 of their 58 seats. The Alberta NDP currently have 54; previously they held just four. Both the Liberals and the NDP believed they could run up deficits, impose higher taxes, impose job-killing regulations and badly interfere with the energy business, resulting in higher prices. Moreover, we see their potentially ideologically-driven activity within the school system. For example, they are determined to rewrite the entire K-12 curriculum in just a couple of years. Previously, the rewrite of the math curriculum alone took six years. Fulsome thought and discussion cannot take place in such a short time period. This unseemly, and inherently flawed, rush betrays that they are implement an agenda. Importantly for Albertan UCP supporters, we now have, in Premier Doug Ford, a new and powerful ally opposed to the federal carbon tax to add to Premier Scott Moe and his Saskatchewan Party. Jason Kenney has stated that, if elected, he will make Bill 1, of an early-sitting Legislative Session, the Carbon Tax Repeal Act. On June 7, it was the second anniversary of the imposition of this tax. Some observations: the tax was never part of the NDP’s election platform, therefore, it has no popular legitimacy; the tax was supposed to obtain “social license” for projects. Yet, two of three pipelines were kiboshed; the tax was supposed to be ring fenced for the environment. It is now an NDP slush fund. Clearly, when the NDP promise something, they mislead Albertans, and when they do not, it is even worse. This tax has achieved nothing but make life more expensive for all Albertans. Worse still, it hits lower earners, the vulnerable and seniors disproportionately harder. School divisions are facing hard choices between heating and transport versus teaching posts, educational assistants and programs. Kindergarten programs are being scrapped. Some senior centres and non-profit organizations may close or curtail services due to a rise in costs. About 55 per cent of household budget costs increased. Their rebate being less (or non-existent) versus the tax increase. About 73 per cent of small businesses face increased costs. This, coupled with a compulsory minimum wage increase, is a death sentence for some. Yet, no one is counting his or her chickens. The UCP will stay humble, listen to Albertans and produce sensible policies for the many, and not the few.

Toth family receives Century Farm award By Kim Morrow

Michael Toth and his wife Elizabeth immigrated to Canada in 1901 with their four children. After landing in Halifax, Nova Scotia, they travelled by rail to Cana, Saskatchewan. In 1915, Michael, Elizabeth and their son Joseph moved to the Bashaw district. In early 1917, Michael purchased the south half of 17-42-

22-W4 from Orion T. Smiley and by August 1917, Michael, in turn, sold this land to his son Joseph and his wife Rosie. The property had only six acres that were broke, an 18’ x 28’ barn and a 12’ x 18’ log house. Their family expanded to four sons and five daughters, all of whom were born on the property, except for the first son and the last son.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Muriel, left, and Wilfrid Toth, right, were presented a Century Farm Family award by Camrose County Reeve Don Gregorwich.

They cleared the land and expanded their land base to four quarters over the years with horses and, of course, manpower. They grew grain, raised all types of livestock and raised their children with the bounty from the farm. In the mid 1920s, they constructed a larger log house which was later added on to and, over the years, moved in other buildings they found useful. In October 1965, Joseph and Rosie sold the south half to their son Wilfrid and his wife Muriel. Here, they raised their three children. Wilfrid and Muriel also expanded their land base to seven and one-half quarters and continued to grow cereal crops and forage, which provided feed for their 125 head of cows/calves and their 110-sow (farrow to finish) hog operations. As with any successful farming operation, their expansion and growth was made possible with hard work and support of their family, but was definitely

made easier with modern machinery and technology. In the 1990s, they began to downsize their operation by selling the livestock. Cereal crops are still grown on the property which Wilfrid still proudly harvests. Wilfrid and Muriel

have added numerous buildings over the years to make their operation more efficient, but the 1920s log house and addition, with some interior renovations, is still being used to this day. The family currently farms 1,040 acres.

Managing sport fishing in Alberta

Camrose District 4-H Beef Clubs

Continued from page 2 Restrictions

The 2018 Alberta Guide to the newly revamped Sportfishing Regulations lists some general restrictions for sportfishing including the following. It is unlawful: to use snares, firearms, or any device to attract, stun or kill fish by causing an explosion or electrical current in the water, use lights to sportfish unless the light is attached to a hook or line used in angling. This includes visible lights that are emitted by underwater cameras and to clean fish for transport home in a manner that is not authorized. Users of watercrafts are reminded it is the law to properly clean, drain and dry all watercraft after each usage to ensure against the spread and ultimately infestation of aquatic invasive species in Alberta waterbodies. “We also recommend thoroughly cleaning any gear used for fishing, such as boots and waders, in an effort to stop the spread of the invasive Whirling disease,” commented Camrose District Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branch officer Lorne Rinkel.

Corporal Isaac Verbaas of the Camrose RCMP Detachment updated Camrose County with a review of activities and issues in the area for council information, as well as provide information on a new provincial crime mapping initiative, June 12. “Crime mapping is an innovative tool by which the Alberta RCMP is tackling offenders who commit the most crimes. This project allows the RCMP to continue increasing inter-agency communication and sharing criminal intelligence with its partners,” explained Cpl. Verbaas. “It also encourages Albertans to participate in crime prevention strategies, such as reporting suspicious persons or activity, in an effort to be the extra set of eyes and ears for police in their communities. Initiatives such as this one go a long way in creating safe and resilient communities for all Albertans.” Only certain crime types will be presented on the map such as Theft from Motor Vehicle; Theft of Motor Vehicle; Theft over/ under $5,000; Break and Enter; Mischief and Missing Persons. Emergency Situation Flags would only be used for very short periods (school lockdown, unfolding dangerous situation, evacuation, train derailment etc.) Plotted addresses will not be exact, but rather a nearby intersection or street. Entries are templated and only certain information can be entered (i.e. file number and date). Entries will automatically be removed after 14 days. “There is no cost to the community, but we are asking those communities that have a website and the ability, to host the public facing web application,” said Cpl. Verbaas. The RCMP will provide the EMBED code to the County website team so the map will appear on its website. “We ask that you include links to Crimestoppers and for phone numbers to call the RCMP complaint line,” he added. Councillor Trevor Miller moved that Camrose County council accept the Camrose RCMP Detachment presentation as information. Councillor Jack Lyle moved that Camrose County council support the addition of the RCMP K Division Public Facing Crime Map on the County website.

Camrose County By Murray Green

Several Camrose County residents are producers, processors and market gardeners and grow/make the best local products available. Camrose County is fortunate to have an abundance of agricultural producers who provide people with locally grown, artisan products. Food producers have goods in baking, beef, beer and spirits, bison, cheese, eggs, flour, frozen meals, fruits, vegetables, herbs, honey, lamb, pork, poultry, preserves, processed meats, soups and teas. The Camrose County local food initiative sprouted with the agricultural communications committee and began with small roots that consisted of a directory of the local producers, growers and processors in the county. “To increase awareness about our directory, it was decided that something was needed to make our community more aware of this resource. We created a contest to increase awareness and encourage consumers to purchase products found

in their local community,” said committee member Marion Williams. The contest includes three monthly prize baskets and one grand prize. “Products from our local artisans provide consumers with sustainably sourced, nutritious products, while also allowing for educational opportunities along the way. Consumers are benefitting from this program by increased product selection, getting to know the people behind the products, and being able to share in the harvest and bounty of local products. This initia-

tive not only showcases the County and variety of products available in our surrounding community, but also helps boost our local economy.” Camrose County has a complete list of producers on their website. To view the list, go to www.county. camrose.ab.ca. County council decided to join the Bailey Theatre Society to sponsor a month of shows in November, spearheaded by councillor Cindy Trautman’s motion. This connects the Bailey and the County with a local food show that will be held on Nov. 3 at the theatre.

How much will you pay?

Nature’s beautiful gifts to us

By Kevin Sorenson, MP Battle River-Crowfoot

Exactly one year ago, the Liberal government released a technical paper on their plan to impose a federal carbon tax on provinces and territories that do not implement their own “satisfactory” systems by 2018. The Saskatchewan government is challenging in court the constitutional power of Ottawa to do so. A Conservative government was elected in Ontario on June 7, and if they are in Alberta next spring, Saskatchewan will have some reinforcements as both provincial Conservative Leaders say they will seek intervener status in the case. The constitutionality of the imposition of the carbon tax on the provinces is not the only question that remains unanswered. Neither the technical paper nor Budget 2018 revealed exactly how much the carbon tax will cost the average Canadian family. What we do know, from the Liberals own admission, is it will add 11 cents per litre to the price of gasoline and the cost of heating one’s home will increase by over $200 annually. The Parliamentary Budget officer released a new report which found that carbon tax will take $10 billion out of the Canadian economy by 2022, while other estimates argue the cost could be as much as $35 billion per year. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation predicts the carbon tax will cost $2,500 per family while Trevor Tombe at the University of Calgary estimates $1,100. None of these numbers can be verified because unfortunately, the Government continues to refuse to tell Canadians exactly how much the carbon tax will cost them. Recently, Conservatives called on the Liberals to release all documents, in their original and uncensored form, that indicate how much the federal carbon tax proposed in Budget 2018 will cost Canadian families, in order to put an end to the carbon tax cover-up. This request came in the form of a Motion in the House of Commons; a motion the Liberals voted against. This was a motion that came after multiple requests for information filed with the government resulted in the release of documents that had key information blacked out. Despite claims that they will provide a cost analysis in the fall, the Liberals are now demanding that Parliament approve the carbon tax in Budget 2018 before Canadians know what the costly impact will be on their wallets. Canadians deserve to know how much this will cost and the Conservative opposition will therefore vote against it. We will continue to fight for your right to know. We will continue to fight for lower taxes and we will continue to fight to improve Canada’s competitive advantage by trying to kill the carbon tax on provinces and territories. Canadian businesses are about to face major competitive challenges, as the United States moves forward with their plan to reduce regulation, lower taxes, and invest in coal fired electricity to reduce energy costs. The US changes coupled with the uncertainty over the impact of the Liberal’s national climate change plan on the economy is causing our businesses to stand on the sidelines and wait, discouraging investment and hurting the economy. We cannot and will not stand quietly by and watch this happen.
